Fans were overjoyed when Michelle Keegan announced that her and husband Mark Wright were expecting their first child in 2025, and as any expecting mother knows, a new pregnancy means implementing a few lifestyle changes. One concern many expectant mothers have is whether their usual beauty products are safe to be used during pregnancy, but it turns out Michelle has been way ahead of the curve.
The actress has previously shared her love for the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Multi-Purpose Moisturiser, which you can pick up for £21.99 at LookFantastic. The ultra-hydrating moisturiser is not only great for dry skin, but is also safe to use during your pregnancy.

Known for her constantly flawless, dewy looking skin, it seems this affordable skincare staple is the secret to Michelle’s complexion. She’s previously told Closer: "I always recommend using a good primer, a heavy-duty moisturiser like the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré works really well and is really good value for money."

It can also be used as a repairing mask, makeup remover, a cleanser, a post-shave balm, or even as a baby-care product, making it perfect for new mums and mums-to-be.
It’s free from harmful chemicals, and the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré has a rich formula that’s full of essential fatty acids and vitamins to nourish your skin and promote cell renewal. It also contains shea butter, aloe vera and soy proteins to soothe and calm sensitive, dry and sore skin.
The cream leaves a satin film on your skin after using, which not only helps reduce dryness but traps in moisture and acts as a protective barrier against things like harsh winds and cold temperatures. It’s been getting glowing reviews from shoppers, too, with one saying: “I found this moisturiser super rich and great for rehydrating full dry skin. It performed really well under makeup.”
Another agreed: “Only thing I use underneath makeup now, can't believe I didn't discover it sooner. Also smells lovely!”

However more found it beneficial to their skin, with one reviewer saying: “I finally got the full size of this. The value for money is amazing. This is such a great no-fuss moisturiser that does such a great job. I don't see myself making the switch to something else any time soon - really hydrating, not too light, not too creamy, absorbs well and fast, leaves skin nice and smooth, looks great under make-up.”
Another highly-rated moisturiser for sensitive, dry skin is the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Multi-Purpose Repairing Balm. Not only does it meet pregnancy-safe criteria, but it’s been hailed for how hydrating and nourishing it is on dry skin.
Currently at Sephora, you can pick it up for £8.70 rather than its usual price of £10.90, and it also acts as a multi-use product for the whole family. You can use it to repair dry or cracked skin, chapped lips, minor everyday injuries and sensitive and irritated baby skin.
